not only does "mixed" make things impossible (lin kernel-header-mess)... 
I just also proved that the current installer build code can be easily 
modified to create a 2.6-based ISO (and quite quickly). =^)

In the future I will keep both ISO lines alive as long as needed - the 
2.4-based ISO's are incredibly easy to maintain. the 2.6 versions just 
need a lot of testing now.
